Friend Friday - Fall Fashion

friend

I am sure you have seen "Friend Friday" on one or a few of the other fabulous blogs participating. I thought it would be a good way to share a little bit more personal info with all of you great gals since I don't do a ton of that on a daily basis. This week's questions are lighter than the past couple of weeks, but look for this to be an on-going Friday thing!

Also, thanks to Katy with Modly Chic for organizing this fun "Friend Friday"! Check out her blog here and to see the other blogs that are participating in this week's Friend Friday click here.

What new fashion trend are you looking forward to sporting this fall?

I have to say I am loving just about every trend for fall. My inner girly-girl loves the turn towards "lady-like" things - longer hems, lace, hourglass silhouettes and more. However, I also like all the juxtaposition of soft and hard being mixed together that is continuing to be everywhere (i.e. ruffles with worn denim, military with a dress, and lace with studs).

Which item in your closet is most likely to be your go-to transition piece?

I can see my army green jacket being a great transitional item. I have already worn it with rolled up jeans and a maxi dress this summer, but can see it working just as well more layered up for fall.

What item from last year are you looking forward to reinventing this fall?

I don't know so much about "reinventing" but I am definitely looking forward to wearing lots of boots, booties and vests. I plan on adding a lot of bling and embellishment to everything this fall and winter. I can't wait to wear a cluster of brooches at the top of a pair of knee high boots also (sorry I can't find a pic to share).

What is your favorite part about this time of the year?
Everything! The crisp mornings, sleeping with the windows open and having to snuggle under the down comfortor, all the layering without sweating you can do, Colts Football Games, prepping for the holidays - - I could go on and on about fall!

Will you be attending any fashion events this fall?
Nothing planned right now, but that is okay. I have big plans for Las Vegas in February!

I am looking forward to mixing girly with military style too. It will be fun to see what I can come up with from my closet. - Katy http://modlychic.blogspot.com/

Mixing delicate lace with hard edge leather or camouflage softens the look and can make an outfit so sophisticated.

I get withdrawal symptoms big time if I don't get to Vegas every few months. Going next week...yay!

I agree that the 2010 fall fashions are an improvement over the past. But what is with open-toed winter boots? Impractical AND ugly.
